Dialogue[]
“ | Foreigners, who do not speak your proper language, but can only be communicated with using basic Tradetalk, show up on your lands. These are the Ram People, who worship unfamiliar gods and follow strange laws and customs. Even though they live next to you, they have kept to their own the last little while. They raided you recently, but act like you should not be offended by that. They watch your horses with great interest. They seem to want something, but from their halting Tradetalk you can't tell what it is. You can figure out that they call themselves the <clan> clan.

Consequences[]
Giving a gift is probably the safest choice; it doesn't have to be a large one.
Offering a favor may also please them, but there's a risk that you'll be unable to communicate what you mean and just confusing. (Ekarna's Understanding Blessing may help get your point across.)
If you threaten them convincingly enough for them to lose confidence, Mood may improve.
